Not that this will dissuade the “moon landing was fake” nuts
Declassified Apollo mission UFO files challenge long-running Moon landing conspiracy theories
Newly declassified government files detailing “UFO” sightings during NASA’s Apollo missions are challenging long-running conspiracy theories that the Moon landings were staged.
The conspiracy theories — which claim NASA faked the Apollo 11 moon landing on July 20, 1969, and subsequent missions to win the Space Race, often alleging the events were filmed in a studio — have persisted for decades.
The newly released files, however, provide additional context and previously unpublished material from the missions, including astronaut transcripts and archival imagery.
In the documents, astronauts describe observing flashes of light, drifting particles and distant objects while traveling to and from the Moon.

As far as the rest, we get the Credentialed Media viewpoint from the Washington Post
Trump releases UFO files, says public can judge for themselves
It was not immediately clear whether the collection of videos, photos and interviews would significantly advance the public’s understanding.
Good grief, they have to go TDS and moonbat even with this. They can’t just go “cool, this is sweet stuff”, unlike
(Fox News) The Trump administration’s decision to declassify a batch of UFO and UAP files Friday drew unexpected praise from a prominent Democratic lawmaker.
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., the leader of Senate Democrats’ campaign arm, cheered the release of dozens of never-before-seen images and videos, stating, “Transparency is the only path to truth.”
“I am encouraged that the administration has finally heard my call and the call of millions of Americans to begin unsealing these files,” Gillibrand wrote on social media, adding that she has long advocated for the declassification and release of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) files.
In fairness, she was calling for this before Trump’s 2nd term, as did many others
The Trump administration’s file dump, available on the newly created website war.gov/UFO, contains records related to UAP, including inexplicable lights and phenomena captured during the Apollo 12 mission in 1969 and Apollo 17 in 1972.
Lots of fun stuff to go through at the site.
